Farfugiums are clump forming perennials grown in shade gardens for their bold ornamental leaves. On this especially robust selection, glossy green rounded leaves have edges curled under and are evergreen until temperatures reach the low 20's. Yellow daisy flowers appear in summer. Best in fertile soil and moderate shade, with regular watering.
